The Senate Armed Services Committee is holding a hearing on Iraq on C-SPAN2. Chairman Warner is giving his opening statement. I expect a little more deference to Carl Levin, since he will be the chairman come January. John Abizaid, the commander of Central Command is going to testify.
Claire McCaskill and Jim Webb were assigned to this committee. I am sure they will do a good job there.
Let’s see what happens today. Will the Republicans act with less arrogance? Will they have any humility? Will Abizaid give candid answers?
